On the agenda … identify new initiatives to supplement the pensions and retirement income of the early players – “The Men Who Made the Game.” Initiatives such as the Congress’ innovative NFL apparel licensing agreement that is providing much-needed additional retirement income for the game’s pioneers (now in their 80s and 90s) and their families.

“These are the men who made the game. We’re a family and we take care of our own,” stated Congress co-founder and legendary former NFL player Bob Grant. “I look forward to this opportunity to get these football greats together to continue to develop innovative “win-win” partnerships to benefit all retired players and their families.”

Other topics covered at the Summit include pension strategies, medical breakthroughs, licensing and business opportunities, as well as general updates and discussions.
